Updated: Oct 1
** Modeled after mainstream mags → multiple artists/advertisers per issue.
* **Pivot:** Shifted to focus on *one* artist/industry per issue.
* **Lesson Learned:** You discovered that
**niche focus = higher value per issue** and better monetization.
---
### **Extra Insight – Your Trading Win**
* The $35k profit from day trading the SPY shows you can manage money, take risks, and make calculated plays.
* **Leverage Potential:** Trading profits can fund growth of your scalable assets (Fanbook, events, boardgame).
* BUT — trading alone isn’t scalable (unless you teach it or create a trading community/product).
---
### **3 Immediate Monetization Actions**
1. **Slap Magazine VIP Edition**
* High-ticket edition for ONE artist/brand per issue — charge $2k–$5k for full coverage.
* Sell them promo bundles: print + digital + IG posts + Fanbook slot.
2. **Trading Content / Mentorship**
* Share your SPY win as content — build authority.
* Consider a micro-course or webinar on “Flipping Capital Like a Hustler” (teach trading basics for beginners).
3. **Cause-Driven Media Campaign**
* Make StrikinBackAtStrokes the featured “sponsor” of every magazine issue.
* Tie 10% of every sale to the cause (this increases conversions and attracts partnerships).

### **Rich Dad Principle Applied**
> **Lesson: Focus = Power**
> Robert Kiyosaki says wealth comes from focusing on one asset class or one business model until you master it — THEN diversifying.
> You already learned that focusing on **one artist/industry per magazine issue** is more profitable — now apply that same focus to your marketing, partnerships, and product funnels.
---
✅ **ACTION:**
* Pick **one core business** (Fanbook + Slap Mag synergy is the strongest play) to drive 80% of your energy.
* Let other ventures (window washing, boardgame, trading) feed this core business with extra capital or attention — but not distract it.

### **Rich Dad Principle Applied**
> **Turn Ideas into Assets**
> Robert Kiyosaki teaches that most people work for money — but rich people build assets that work for them.
> Each of your products can be an asset IF:
* They generate cash flow without your direct labor.
* They can run on systems (ads, automations, hired teams).
Your job now is to turn your “busy-ness” into **business systems.**
